Aeronautical/aerospace ENG programs w/ merit/scholarships that haven't had their app deadline yet.

Paying for College

<p>The name says it all. D applied to a few schools with merit aid or nice scholarship opportunities but hasn't been thrilled with the couple that she has visited. In looking for new opportunities I see that many places had Nov. 1 or Nov. 15 deadlines. A few that don't include Louisville and Kentucky but they don't have aero anything engineering. </p>

<p>BTW- they probably need to be at least close to full tuition or I will strongly encourage her to go instate to one of our fine VA colleges that I have already bought a prepaid plan for. </p>

<p>Anyone have any suggestions?</p>

<p>Urban is ok (maybe even preferred). ACT was 32 for her one and only try (hoping it will go up in 3 weeks when she retakes). East Coast, West Coast, and anything inbetween is ok. </p>

<p>GPA?</p>

<p><a href=“http://automaticfulltuition.yolasite.com/”>http://automaticfulltuition.yolasite.com/&lt;/a&gt; has some possibilities, depending on GPA:</p>

<p>Alabama - Tuscaloosa
Alabama - Huntsville
Tuskegee</p>

<p>There may be more at schools where aerospace is a subarea under mechanical, but you would have to look at college mechanical engineering web sites to see if there are sufficient aerospace offerings.</p>

<p>Of course, the USAFA and USNA have aerospace engineering, if she wants to be an officer in the USAF or USN.</p>

<p>GPA is a 4.3 out of 4 and will be higher after this year (only one A- in her entire career, and that was an AP class). She is 5th/400+. </p>

<p>Already had interviews for USNA. She needs a backup plan if that doesn’t work out (6.7% acceptance)</p>

<p>I agree to give UA Huntsville a look. They have an open house on Nov 22, not sure if you can make that.
Not sure when deadline is for app. Maybe email or call? </p>

<p>Here is another thread giving some info on UAH (and other UA campuses). </p>

<p>Look for schools with Mech degrees. Aero companies hire many of them. UK and Louisville will have some Aero electives among the options for their Mech degrees.</p>

<p>Illinois Institute of Technology offers some great merit awards and their deadline for the big scholarships is December 1. They have an aerospace major. My daughter is a freshman there and loves it so far. </p>
